Maintenance
Checking for normal operation
The BRM3 Brain Monitor is supplied with a test plug, attached to the DAU. The test plug can be used to
terminate each EEG channel for test purposes. This procedure constitutes a functional test of the left and
right EEG channels.
This check should be performed when the BRM3 Brain Monitor is first assembled and as part of the
annual maintenance check. See
Checking for normal operation
on page 19.
